Mint Condition opened its doors in 2006 but Wendy, the owner, has been fanatically collecting for many years.
"My love of collecting started in the late-1970's as a young teenager. Every Saturday I would frequent Paddington and Balmain markets (in Sydney) keen to score a one-off dress.
50's frocks were in abundance back then. Oh, to turn back time to the days of finding a real bargain!"
These days the sourcing of stock comes mostly from America although some is sourced locally.
"We are currently experiencing the most popular revival of fashion from past decades and it has quickly become more 'mainstream' to buy and wear original quality vintage pieces.
The most sought after item would be a classic 1950's cocktail frock in 'mint condition' or an Oroton crystal purse."
